iblokh Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I've been browsing the site for a while and have come to a few conclusions, but the options are still pretty daunting. My situation: I want a hookah to use at home, don't need anything portable. This is my first purchase, so I'm looking for under $100 for the pipe - but I also want something that will last. So far, one of the better options looks to be the Nile or the Sphinx from Hookah-shisha.com, with the 2 hose, Nammor option. Any opinions? I also really, really like the look of the "gypsy hookah", but cannot find any reviews: http://www.whookahs.com/gypsy-hookah-p-117.html And some interesting ones here: http://www.velvethookah.com/cat--Tradition...nalhookahs.html Any recommendations based on what I mentioned above? Thanks for all your help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 the ones on the velvet hookah website are good, they're MZ's they'll last forever, I don't know about the other one though, looks kinda scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 for under 100 you could get a nice mya or a km (~100 + shipping) both would out smoke any of those hookahs. Thats what i would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 http://www.hookahcompany.com/ruby_pharaoh_...h_3764_prd1.htm^^^ major bang for your buck and I've seen it in person, it is even nicer than the pics lookan MZ would also treat you well.Is it just me or does it seem like the social smoke people also run some other sites, like possibly the velvethookah place? the shopping layout is the same there, at SS, and at hookahshisha (no hyphen). The names of the MZs (perpetual river = draco for example) are the same also. hmmm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my hookah bar in Colorado Springs is 100 percent the Social Smoke Website...under the name Hooked on Hookah. The only difference I've been able to spot is it's less fancy and the discount code doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iblokh Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thanks guys - so you think the Hokkah-Shisha line isn't great?http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/view...sp?idCategory=7If not, I'll probably go for either an MZ or a KM. Nammor hose is worth it, right? Any other suggestions for a first buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuburbanSmoker Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Def go with a wide hose. nammor/razan/grandwashables it makes a world of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
